What is a SysferException and how do I get rid of it?

Question

When starting the debugger, I get eight instances of the following:

First-chance exception at 0x000007FEFD59B16D in myprogram.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: SysferException at memory location 0x000000000028D7B0.

All I have been able to find on it is that it is connected to Symantec and sysfer.dll.

Answer 1

I found the following instructions useful:

To prevent sysfer.dll from loading in the Visual Studio, use regedit to set the following registry to 4: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysPlant]
"Start"=dword:00000004
Reboot after changing the regedit.
